[QUOTE="Xapi, post: 786313, member: 56815"] Any change needs to make sense from a sport perspective and from a bussiness perspective. I think cutting South Africa loose doesn't make sense from a sport perspective. Also Argentina is going to be pretty upset at effectively doubling most of their trips. I think setting up a second Argentina team doesn't make sense from a bussiness perspective, and I've been made to believe that a Pacific Islands teams also doesn't. One from Canada and one from USA? I don't see it. Sports wise, maybe one from Canada + USA + Uruguay Maybe an "Americas" team, with a USA/Canada/Uruguay + some Argentina roster would? But where would they be based? Financially, you'd put them in USA, but the travel times would be huge. In a world with teleportation, no time zones and no financial issues, I could see five teams that could be somewhat competitive assuming a couple of years for development -we shouldn't forget that before the Jaguares there was Pampas XV- (Argentina x 2, Americas, Japan, Pacific Islanders). But these are things that can't be put aside. [/QUOTE]
